“Responding to growing involvement from the local Korean-American community and an increasing awareness nationally of Korean art, the Philadelphia Museum of Art has hired its first curator of Korean art. Hyunsoo Woo, 36, formerly of the Japan Society in New York and the Brooklyn Museum, started work Monday as the museum’s associate curator of Korean art – making the museum one of just a few in the United States to have a full-time staffer devoted to Korean art.”
